"Lilac Time" is a silent romantic war film directed by George Fitzmaurice and Frank Lloyd, released in 1928. The screenplay, written by Willis Goldbeck and based on a story by Adela Rogers St. Johns, was adapted from the play "Lilac Time" by Jane Cowl and Jane Murfin. The film stars Colleen Moore, a popular actress of the silent film era, and actor Gary Cooper. Set during World War I, "Lilac Time" tells the story of a young French girl and her love for an American aviator. The film is noted for its aerial combat scenes and its blend of romance and drama against the backdrop of the Great War.

The film's production was by First National Pictures, a major American studio at the time, which later became a part of Warner Bros. The cinematography by John J. Mescall and the musical score by Nathaniel Shilkret played significant roles in the film's storytelling, with the latter being especially notable as "Lilac Time" was released during the transition from silent films to "talkies." The score was performed by an orchestra during the film's screenings to enhance the emotional impact of the narrative.

"Lilac Time" was well-received upon its release, with particular praise for its aerial sequences and the performances of its leads. The film has since become a notable example of the late silent film era and is recognized for its historical value in the context of both cinema and the portrayal of World War I. While the film itself is not as widely known today, it remains a point of interest for silent film enthusiasts and scholars of early 20th-century cinema.

The legacy of "Lilac Time" is preserved through restoration efforts and screenings at silent film festivals, allowing contemporary audiences to experience the film's visual storytelling and its place in the evolution of the war romance genre. As with many silent films, "Lilac Time" provides insight into the filmmaking techniques and narrative styles of its time, offering a window into the cultural sentiments and artistic expressions of the late 1920s.
